Tokyo: Starting with a fake boyfriend

Although he had guessed before that the [Concentration] talent might help him learn code and programming faster, when he actually received the reward, he felt that he had underestimated the talent.

It is very effective in suppressing irrelevant interference and discarding useless emotions.

It is important to know that it is very difficult for a person to focus on doing one thing. It is easy to be influenced by the environment, and it is also possible to be affected by emotions and worries, making it impossible to calm down.

What's even more insane is the sheer number of positive buffs that come with entering a flow state.

"I don't even know what the concept of enhancement is."

Overwhelmed with excitement, Shiratori Osamu stood up abruptly, took out his phone, which emitted a faint light, and headed towards his desk.

Men are boys until they die; they'll want to swing a tree branch if they get their hands on one, let alone this kind of almost superpower-like talent.

He noticed last night that Minami Yamabuki had taken his "C Programming Language from Beginner to Expert" out of his bag and placed it on the table.

Using his phone to navigate in the dark, he noticed the time: 5:21.

He woke up quite early today. Although the beanbag chair in Yamabuki Minami's house wasn't cheap and was very comfortable to sleep on, it was still not as good as a big bed.

He picked up his book from the desk and headed to the bathroom.

He went into the bathroom, turned on the light, leaned against the wall, and opened a book.

Skipping the table of contents, the first sentence of the first chapter reads, "C is a widely used high-level computer programming language internationally, and it has attracted attention from the computer world since its inception..."

He had actually read this overview many times before, but he still planned to start from the beginning.

After some attempts, Shiratori Osamu quickly entered a state of flow.

He started reading from the first chapter, from the history of C language development to its characteristics, and then to a simple C program and a complete C program.

"I did it! I did it!"

After reading for an unknown amount of time, when Shiratori Shu's gaze finally left the pages, his calm and serious eyes suddenly lit up with surprise.

Although it was the same text, with the help of complete concentration, he had a completely different feeling this time.

He gradually began to understand and recognize the true meaning of the words, as well as those strange symbols and numbers.

Even more incredibly, he recalled the contents of each paragraph.

"6:02...Half an hour has already passed?"

Having experienced the wonders of his talent, Shiratori was happy for a while, then took out his phone and looked at it with some surprise.

"I have to go to school today, so I'll go home first to take a shower, change clothes, and get my schoolbag."

Noticing the time, he closed the book, turned around, and walked out of the bathroom.

……

"Ring ring ring!"

At 6:40, the alarm clock rang.

The next moment, Minami Yamabuki, who was still dreaming, sat up straight in bed.

"what……"

Turning off the alarm, Minami Yamabuki yawned, still half asleep.

She hadn't slept enough, but she still got out of bed sideways and instinctively dragged her heavy steps toward the bathroom.

She has lived in this house for four years and can come and go freely even in the dark.

After taking care of her urgent needs by sitting on the toilet in the bathroom, she began to wash her face and brush her teeth, using the tap water to awaken her dormant soul.

After finishing this, she left the bathroom, turned on the room light, went to the wardrobe, took out a set of ironed school uniforms, and began to change.

Minami Yamabuki lowered her head to unbutton two buttons of her shirt, then suddenly stopped and turned to look at the beanbag chair not far away.

However, when she looked around, she saw nothing.

"?"

Noticing this, Minami Yamabuki tilted her head slightly.

For some reason, she felt that something was not quite right.

"Oh, right... Shiratori-san stayed at my house last night."

Minami Yamabuki, who was delirious from severe sleep deprivation, suddenly snapped back to reality after a moment of deep thought. She quickly buttoned up her clothes, her heart pounding uncontrollably.

Chapter 22 Dongyun Meiyue

The so-called daily routine is a stable and unchanging life.

When a stable life undergoes significant changes, it is no longer the norm.

For Minami Yamabuki, it was as if Osamu Shiratori had spent the night at her house, and in her room no less.

After getting dressed again, Minami Yamabuki started moving around, searching for the man in the room.

"What about people?"

However, she searched the room but still couldn't find that figure.

What's going on? Where did Shiratori-san go?

With this question in mind, Minami Yamabuki wandered around until she arrived at the desk, where she suddenly noticed a piece of paper being held down by a pen.

"Mission accomplished successfully, Yamabuki-san. I have to go home for a bit, so I'll be going now. Also, I've already taken the remaining payment from the bag, so you won't have to give it to me later."

"Remember to destroy this note; whatever you do, don't let your dad see it."

After reading the somewhat messy handwriting in the message, Minami Yamabuki was a little stunned and looked around.

After checking, Shiratori-san told her to keep the book for now, but the Chinese book "Introduction to C Language" that she had put on the table last night was gone.

She opened her schoolbag again and found that the 25 yen inside was also gone.

"Has Shiratori-san already left?"

After checking these two items, Minami Yamabuki looked at the note again, feeling a tightness in her chest and a sense of loss.

Although she had a vague feeling last night before going to sleep that their relationship would end by tomorrow morning.

But she never expected that Shiratori-san would wake up so early, so early that he left while she was still asleep, and she didn't even have time to say goodbye.

She stood in front of her desk for a while, lost in thought, before changing into her school uniform because she had to go to school.

"Click".

After combing her hair, Minami Yamabuki picked up her schoolbag and walked out of the room.

"Xiao Nan, breakfast is ready."

Finally, she got up, and Yamabuki, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately greeted her.

After her heart-to-heart talk with her daughter last night, her love for her dear daughter deepened even further.

"You seem a bit unhappy today. What happened? Where's Shiratori-kun?"

Yamabuki stepped forward to meet her, noticing that she seemed a little down, and asked softly.

Although her husband was still asleep, she didn't dare to discuss matters concerning Shiratori Osamu loudly.

"Shiratori-san said he had to go home for something, and he left before I was even fully awake."

Minami Yamabuki shook her head, picked up her schoolbag, and walked towards the restaurant while responding.

"He's gone?" Yamabuki was surprised to hear this, then her expression changed. "Minami, did he do something to you last night?"

Although she doesn't have much dating experience, having only dated her husband over the years.

But she was, after all, a wife, and would occasionally meet with the wives of her husband's employees, so she was somewhat aware of all sorts of gossip.

If a man runs away before a woman is fully awake, nine times out of ten he has done something wrong and doesn't want to take responsibility.

"Mom, you've misunderstood. He didn't do anything... He slept on the sofa last night, that beanbag chair, keeping a great distance from me." Noticing the change in her expression, Minami Yamabuki quickly explained to her.

"Did Shiratori-kun sleep on the sofa last night? Was that your request or did he do it on his own initiative?"

"He did it on his own initiative."

"Xiao Nan, it seems you were right last night. Although his reputation isn't great, he's a good person and someone you can trust."

Realizing this, Yamabuki was quite surprised and couldn't help but look at him with new respect.

A man and a woman were alone in a room, and the woman was very beautiful. Surprisingly, the man was able to restrain himself and do nothing, and even actively kept his distance.

Despite appearing to be a bad person, he possesses such self-awareness and self-control.

Although she didn't know Shiratori Osamu very well, she did this in a way that was impeccable.

"Uh-huh."

Minami Yamabuki agrees with this statement.

Shiratori Shu took her money, and he really did get things done, and he did it exceptionally well.

……

Takeno High School is located in Shinjuku Ward and is a college entrance exam-oriented school. Although the students' deviation scores are relatively high, the first class time is similar to other schools, at 8:30 am, which is quite late.

However, Shiratori Osamu woke up very early today and left the Yamabuki family early in the morning to take the subway home.

At just 7:42 a.m., he crossed the school gate.

"A high school student?"

As he entered the school, Shiratori Osamu couldn't help but look around, finding everything fascinating.

He only awakened his past life memories last Saturday. After realizing his situation, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​going to school on Monday, took the C language textbook he bought online, and went to an internet cafe to develop games.

That's why this is his first time attending school in his fully evolved form.

It was summer, and the weather was hot, but Japanese girls dare to wear short skirts with bare legs even in winter, so it goes without saying that they would do the same in summer.

Looking around, all you see are JK uniforms and eye-catching long, white legs, and some girls are even wearing thigh-high stockings. The view of the absolute territory is truly impressive.

However, as he scrutinized them and gazed at them, the girls became alert and quickened their pace to run away as if avoiding a flood or a ferocious beast.

Even worse, some girls looked at him with disgust, as if he were a maggot.

"Although I knew my reputation wasn't great, I didn't expect to be disliked this much... But the disgusted face is kind of cool."

Upon realizing this, Shiratori Osamu didn't dwell on it; he simply withdrew his gaze from all around.

He already knew his reputation was bad.

In fact, even though he only awakened his past life memories now, it may be due to his instincts from his past life. From a young age, he knew how to respect others and love his parents. Moreover, he was more mature than his peers. He was also very enthusiastic about learning in elementary and junior high school and achieved excellent grades.

But everything changed after he was bullied in the bathroom during his third year of junior high school and fought back in anger.

A good person who has done good deeds all their life will be despised and cursed if they do just one bad thing.

Overnight, he went from being a top student to being seen as a bad student by others.

Teachers and parents are no exception.

He did try to clear his name, but prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain that no matter how hard you try, you can't move.

As a result, he started to slack off, and even dyed his hair yellow before entering high school, thus becoming a delinquent.

But he knew very well that he had not done anything illegal or disorderly, nor had he bullied anyone. It was just that his grades were poor; otherwise, the school would have expelled him long ago.

Following his memory, Shiratori Osamu quickly found the school building.

However, before he could even enter the school building, someone called out to him:

"Shiratori-kun?"

Upon hearing his name, Shiratori Osamu subconsciously looked up.

The one calling his name was a woman with long, deep purple hair, snow-white and smooth skin, and exquisitely beautiful features. She was wearing a black suit and trousers, and was very tall, probably over 1.7 meters, with excellent proportions and a pair of very eye-catching long legs.

This formal business attire, paired with an indifferent expression, makes her look capable and serious. There's a beauty mark under her left eye, which makes Shiratori Osamu take a second look.

"You're here so early today?"

Shinonome Mizuki, who was waiting at the school building entrance, realized it really was him. She raised her hand to adjust her glasses, feeling incredulous at his early arrival.
